RSSCT Design Center

Rapid Small-Scale Column Tests (RSSCT) simulate conditions of a full-scale filter bed and allow for performance testing of media to remove contaminants from water. Birchtech specializes in RSSCTs for evaluating media including activated, virgin, spent, reactivated carbon and ion exchange resin.

Accurately predict full-scale performance using lab-validated methodologies

Assist in evaluating hydraulic loading and empty bed contact time (EBCT)

Cost-effective media comparison across activated carbon, IX resins, and mix media

Help estimate operating costs and spent replacement frequency

Aligned with EPA PFAS testing methods (M533, M537.1, M8327, M1633)
